I really love this place. When you first enter the place seems very small. No it is not there is another side in epic proportions, Tables and even a dancing section. The owner explained parties are done here too. Ordered the Jerk Chicken rice and beans was very tasty. As I was looking. Around o noticed Haitian beef pattys. The owner explained he doesn’t have Haitian food on the menu but that is coming soon. Great new addition to Jersey City and hope to be back to review the Haitian food

A new spot not too far from my job. I have to say i really enjoyed the food here. Only Smoked Oven place in JC. Jerk Chicken was on point, Mac and Cheese on Point, and Potato Salad on Point.

Soul and Caribbean Fusion Food Café comes to Communipaw Ave. Owner Jean Frank Maurice has created an oasis on a stretch of Communipaw that badly needs intrepid entrepreneurs. The location is divided into the smaller kitchen side that houses a few tables, refrigerators for home made lemonade and home made iced tea(very yummy) as well as bottled drinks. One wall is exposed brick and the other is a cool blue with carefully selected art and decorations. The other side of the café is a large space that invites you to sit and enjoy your meal or sit and wile away the time on your laptop(free wifi) while enjoying some of their delicious fare or some home made desserts and beverages. Exposed brick walls with framed photos, various types of seating(bar stools and tables, reclaimed arm chairs and tables) line the walls in the front half of the space. The back portion provides more of a gathering space for upcoming poetry slams, art events and the like. The location boasts a lovely peaceful garden as well(where I will spend lots of time, I’m sure). The ambiance manages to be warm and cozy while still being large enough for groups and a venue for events. In an effort to accommodate the neighborhood but also provide something new and creative, the owner and Chef Frank(same name) are still tweaking what will be on their final menu. As of right now they have jerk chicken(smokey and well jerked), collards(clean and flavorful), mac and cheese(just like your mama used to make, you know that means with a crust), red beans and rice(grainy with a nice Haitian flavor; if you’ve had it you know what I’m talking about), potato salad(creamy), sweet corn on the cob(juicy, crisp, sweet), sweet potato fries, fried shrimp and fish. Dessert was a super moist and decadent carrot cake(seriously good).They have a hot bar that caters to take out. A breakfast menu, a brunch menu and some vegetarian options to come. Hours are still in flux but for right now definitely lunch and dinner and they are open late. The café is in the soft opening stage as the doors have only been open several days(BYOB pending)(opening sometime in the next few months) so expect some kinks to be worked out but that is part of the beauty of discovering a new place at its inception. Become a regular and you’re almost a part of process, watching it flourish, contributing to the nurturing and growth of something good(in my case in my own community). Café Sole is a VERYWELCOMEADDITION to a neighborhood that usually expects a new location to be either another barber shop, liquor store, check cashing or fried chicken joint. This is definitely not that. What this lovely café is is most definitely a step in the right direction. Oh, cash only for now.
